Rwanda eSIM FAQs
Yes! Rwanda supports eSIM technology, making it easy for travellers to stay connected throughout the country.
Purchase your eSIM online, scan the QR code, and enable roaming. Visit our how to install an eSIM guide for step-by-step instructions.
Absolutely! Using a travel eSIM is a whole lot better than roaming in Rwanda and here's why:
- Cost Savings: Avoid high roaming charges by using local data plans tailored to your destination.
- Flexibility: Easily switch between different data packages without the need to physically swap SIM cards.
- Control: Gain better oversight of your data usage and expenses, ensuring no unexpected fees or overages.
This depends. If you're using a regional eSIM ie. Europe or Asia, then you can use it in the countries specified on our plan page. But, if you have bought an eSIM for a specific country only, then you can only use it in that country.
The good news is, if you need to purchase an eSIM for a different country, you can do that on our website (yep the one you're on right now) in just a minute or two.
Our Rwanda travel eSIMs are data-only meaning you can only use them for internet and not calling or SMS messages, unless you use an internet based messaging service such as WhatsApp.
Connectivity: If you're having connectivity issues with your Rwanda travel eSIM check out our eSIM troubleshooting guide for a troubleshooting process or of course contact us and we will get you sorted ASAP.
Installation: If you need a hand installing the eSIM we have a helpful how to install an eSIM article which should help you, or again contact us directly and we'll do our thing.
Something else: Contact us here, we've got your back.

Top 3 things to do in Rwanda
Trek to See the Mountain Gorillas in Volcanoes National Park
One of the most unforgettable experiences in the world, gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park allows visitors to come face-to-face with endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Guided by experienced rangers, the trek takes you through dense rainforests, misty mountains, and bamboo forests, offering breathtaking scenery along the way. The close-up interaction with these gentle giants is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should be at the top of every traveller’s Rwanda itinerary.
Explore the Vibrant City of Kigali
Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, is one of the cleanest, safest, and most modern cities in Africa. Visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a deeply moving site that honours the victims of the 1994 genocide. Stroll through Nyamirambo, a lively district known for its colourful markets, local food spots, and vibrant nightlife. Kigali is also home to fantastic art galleries and coffee shops, showcasing Rwanda’s emerging creative scene.
Discover the Wildlife of Akagera National Park
For a classic safari experience, Akagera National Park is a must-visit destination.
